These verses will be collected along with those from previous stops and published in a truly one of a kind text. Among those participating, will be members of the Mobile City Council. Those expected to be in attendance include District 1 Council Member and Council Vice President Fredrick Richardson, Jr., District 4 Council Member John C. Williams and District 6 Council Member Connie Hudson.
